The year of which animal is 2022 according to the eastern calendar

The tiger is a noble but quick-tempered animal, from which great accomplishments and great mistakes can be expected. But the water element of 2022 softens the aggression of the Tiger, making it kinder and more accommodating. The Year of the Black Water Tiger will be “soft” but impulsive, full of unexpected events, mostly favorable. 

When is the year of the Black Water Tiger according to the eastern calendar 

The Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar will begin on February 1, 2022 and will last until January 21, 2023, as the date of the Chinese New Year is fickle and tied to the lunar cycle. 

What will be the year 2022 of the Black Water Tiger: the spirit of creativity and adventurism

In 2022, luck will favor easy adventurousness. Take risks, but do it consciously, having calculated the possible consequences. The tiger appreciates initiative, and if you make some efforts, you will gradually realize that everything planned is beginning to come true, and the Universe seems to throw you one lucky coincidence after another. 

But be vigilant, do not rely only on luck – the Water Tiger, unlike his Fiery brother, is patient and wise, and does not like it when fools rush off the bat without thinking about the consequences. For such, he is preparing a series of tests designed to “slow down” the daredevil. If you find yourself in such a situation, then do not despair. Collect your thoughts and meet the setbacks that this year will bring you with a cool head, and then the Tiger will reward you.

The year will be favorable for creativity and art. The water element, according to ancient Chinese traditions, promotes self-expression, so if you have long wanted to enroll in a drawing course or start writing a story, then 2022 is ideal for such endeavors.

Despite the fact that the Tiger is not traditionally considered a sign for procreation, the element of Water softens its character, so the year of the Black Water Tiger is ideal for starting a family. For this sign, the strength of family ties is of great importance.

But remember, even “soaked” in water calmness, the Tiger is still a wayward animal, so prepare yourself for the fact that 2022 will be full of surprises and upheavals.

How to celebrate the Year of the Tiger: restraint and grace 

As already mentioned, the Tiger is the king of the jungle, because his manners are truly royal. The New Year’s table should be beautifully and elegantly decorated, the scrupulous Tiger prefers neat serving, and meat delicacies should be preferred from dishes. The main rule in decor is to stick to a single style and give preference to natural materials. The Tiger will also like it if the jewelry is with a metallic sheen of gold and silver. 

In clothes, give preference to black, gray blue and blue. Avoid colorful outfits, contrasting combinations and flashy neon in your wardrobe, these colors will annoy the owner of the year.

The Year of the Yellow Earth Boar (Pig) is replacing the Yellow Dog. It is said that those who can please him on New Year’s Eve will be accompanied by financial luck throughout the year.
